lyrics

I sit back and think damn
How did I forget who I am

I might sometimes hate myself
But I didn't create myself
So who's really to say
Honestly, I think I've gone astray
I might sometimes fake myself
Pretend I'm happier than I am
Pretend like I have no cares
Pretend I'm bigger than these wears

I sit back and think damn
How did I forget who I am
I sit back and think damn
How did I forget who I am

Somethin' in my mind clicks
And I remember I'm not vulnerable to tricks
I'm not made to think like this
No no I don't really have to think like this
I'm not built for this
No I'm not built to make up shit
I'm not built to live for another
Who has slowly somewhat taken over

Basically the idea that I'm not made to think this way about myself
That it is a lie that is coming into my soul
To believe that I am no one and that I cant do anything
Ya feel

I sit back and think damn
How did I forget who I am
I sit back and think damn
How did I forget who I am

And actually, I can fight back
Fight back Against this attack
I sit back and think damn
Thank goodness
The lord above
Remembers who I am
I am made in the image
I am born finished
I have nothing to prove
And that enables me to move

I sit back and think damn
How did I forget who I am
I sit back and think damn
How did I forget who I am
